The Psych Student

Robert Sapolsky, professor of neurology, neurological sciences, neurosurgery and biological sciences, was selected to talk by the Stanford University graduating class.  His speech was a great way at showing how optimistic an outlook it is to embrace the fact that we’ve got very little not in common with most other animals, particularly our closest ape cousins, and how once we figure that out our specific niche we paradoxically face the challenge of pushing beyond it, which is the thing that makes us different.
